'MASH' actor David Ogden Stiers dies at age 75

05 March, 2018

Stiers' agent, Mitchell K. Stubbs, tweeted that the actor died from bladder cancer.

"His talent was only surpassed by his heart", Stubbs said.

Stiers also found success as a voice actor, with his most famous role coming in Disney's animated 1991 adaptation of Beauty and the Beast as Cogsworth. Grew up on Star Trek, MASH, Better off Dead and of course Beauty and the Beast.

He was also in demand for narration and voiceover work. He also played Jumba in popular cartoon movie Lilo and Stitch. He went on to lend his voice to other Disney features, like Pocahontas (1995) and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), as well as to a number of animated TV productions, including the 2000-02 Disney series Teacher's Pet.

Stiers joined the M*A*S*H cast at the beginning of its sixth season and replacing Larry Linville after he left the series. Winchester, alike many of Stiers' characters, was a most beloved one and many fans have taken to Twitter to show just how much the great actor meant to them. It never seemed plausible that Burns made it through medical school and a surgery residency, let alone was sufficiently accomplished to be commissioned a major.
